Because peonies are colorful and magnificent, they give people a sense of wealth in terms of temperament. Bai Juyi's eternal masterpieces such as "Twenty days after flowers bloom and fall, all the people in the city are crazy" have praised the beauty of peonies in bloom.

Among the cultivation types, they can be divided into hundreds of varieties mainly based on flower color. "There are many varieties of peonies with many colors, with yellow, green, flesh red, deep red, and silver red being the top grades, especially yellow and green.

From the Northern and Southern Dynasties, "there are many peonies among the bamboos along the Yongjia River" to the present day , the peony has a cultivation history of 1,500 years. During the long-term cultivation process, peonies have mutated, and many varieties with large flowers and bright colors have emerged, and their cultivation range extends from the Yangtze River to the Yangtze River. , the provinces in the Yellow River Basin have expanded to the country's northeast and southeast, as well as Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang, Tibet, Taiwan and other places.

Extended information

Peony flowers are large and bright. There are many varieties.

Type, colorful flowers.

Based on the number of petal layers, flowers are traditionally divided into three categories: single-petal (layer) type, double-petal (layer) type, and thousand-petal (layer) type.

According to the morphological characteristics of the flowers, they are divided into: sunflower type, lotus type, rose type, hemispheric type, crown type, and hydrangea type (traditionally, the crown type and hydrangea type are called Floor) six flower types. This classification method more intuitively reflects the various changing forms of flowers.

Relevant peony experts and researchers, together with scientific researchers in the production area, combined traditional classification methods with years of field experience. Observational studies and anatomical observations of peonies, after clarifying the evolutionary rules of flower shapes and flower compositions, proposed a new flower type classification, that is, peony flower types are divided into single-petal type, lotus type, chrysanthemum type, and rose type. , Thousand Layer Pavilion Type, Tuogui Type, Golden Ring Type, Crown Type, Hydrangea Type, Louzi Pavilion Type
